Strange as it may seem to those who do not live in the United States (and of course to most of us who do), the US court system has nothing to do with fairness. Seriously, I'm not just ranting here. The US court system dispenses justice, a very different concept from fairness. Justice is the application of the law. If we are lucky, the laws are fair, oftimes they are not.

If one wishes to prove this to themselves, all that is required is to be a litigant in a US court and try to argue that something is not fair. The best that you can hope for is a blank stare from the court, at worst a stern lecture from the bench, and of course losing your case.

Don't actually know if I have a point here, just thought that it would be of interest to those who were not aware of how the US legal sytem works.
